Rebecca Cohen Yoga

My 6 yr-old is on a mission to 'get muscles'. He asked my mom if he could have her hand weights, and of course she gave them to him. Last night before we went to bed he asked me if we could get up early and work out before school [swoon]. He's a tough one to wake up in the morning (literally just sleeps through everything...) but this morning when i asked if he wanted to get up early to work out, he was all for it. He tossed Bunny Squish down the stairs and we worked out for... 20 min. After I took him to school, I couldn't stand the cuteness factor of this and had to share. . . . . #bunnysquish #yogadaily #yogini #yogateacher #workout #yogaflow #yogainspiration #mindfulness #motivation #yogaeverywhere #yogaeveryday #yogalifestyle #asana #yogaaddict #love #yogapractice #yogalove See more

This one's definitely a bouncy playlist . I don't know why I turned it into Rebecca's dance party. Sometimes I just do. It's not always flutes and singing bowls. Yoga on the outside, dance party on the inside for this one. Royalty free to use in your classes or wherever you want. Link in bio.

I listen to all different kids of music when I practice. Mostly because when i practice, I'm there to get out of my head. I've heard people say that they didn't like yoga because it's too slow and boring. I like to experience the stillness in body with quick moving sounds ....no words...and it's just enough to get me focused on me, my breath, my practice. Here's a sample from my recent upload...link in bio.

Music is a must for my practice. I love me some airpods and either a playlist i've made on itunes, or YT. This last playlist is an upbeat mix with some soft house and trap, electronic...it's definitely going to get you moving. This one's on YT, link in bio.

The first three chakras keep us in the lower chakras which keep us bound by the laws of fate. In the fourth chakra, one makes decisions based on the heart, not the unfulfilled emotions of the lower chakras. The heart chakra is considered to be the seat of the individual soul, and ancient texts describe it as a tiny flame inside the heart. It is the spiritual essence in all. When the heart chakra has not had the opportunity to clear and process emotions, we feel it on a soul level. I hope this practice helps you find your way out of darkness and opens you up to love and compassion. . Link in bio to full practice on YouTube. #youtube #yogapractice #heartchakrahealing

In one of my earlier posts...I mentioned how much I used to hate this pose. Well....it's because in the beginning I didn't know how to use blankets and there weren't any at the studio i was taking classes at. Who knew it would be as simple as a prop...and suddenly I don't hate it. Here's the into to my latest upload... I give you the benefits, the risks, and 2 modifications for getting into the pose. Basically what you would learn in a yoga teacher training...but in 12 minutes on my YT channel.

Vitality 9 is uploaded! 75 minutes of back bending bliss. If you have been feeling sad, depressed, or 'heavy hearted'...this practice is for you. [link in comments] Backbends open and balance the 4th or heart chakra. The lower chakras along the spine are associated with survival, relationships, and our place in the world. The 4th chakra is our connection with the individual soul, or higher self. When energy is flowing freely up the spine, we feel balanced and whole. The poses in yoga help us do just that. Enjoy.

Here's a short practice designed to bring you back from feeling anxious. Great practice any time of day...all levels.

Super cool digital illustration of how energy works.

Happy Holidays Yogis! If you're shopping for your yoga buddy...I have some gift ideas for you. [link in comments]

Vitality 8 is ready to go for your morning practice. [link in comments] This one is an intermediate to advanced level practice featuring a transition from Koundinyasana into chin stand. Not a lot of position cueing, just the basics and pose names. ...with music

If you need something to calm your nerves and help with anxiety...I got you. Try this yoga nidra practice (yogic sleep) and start learning the art of relaxation. It's a state of consciousness that most people can't do very well without a little help. It will bring your nervous system back in check and you'll feel more energy and more like yourself as a result. Link in comments below. Enjoy!
